Things I have noticed:

1. Megacorporations have extraterritoriality. As such, on their own property, they have absolute law.

2. If they were to build a tower block and declare it elf-free, it would henceforth be elf-free. Racism, sexism, equal-opportunity, and even age of consent laws are now moot. Whatever government surrounds the property could declare war, but this would be messy and difficult.

3. Whether owned by small companies or separate but wholly owned subsidiaries of megacorporations, entire neighborhoods could run on truly off-the-wall codes of law. You might have no-magic zones, no metahuman zones, you name it. Furthermore, so long as an activity takes place on corporate territory, it's not actually illegal.

Did I read this right?
